Luxury, full-service (F/S) doorman (DM) buildings
Usually refers to either modern, pre-war or post-war apartment buildings that have doormen and
concierge service. Fifteen stories and up. These buildings tend to be either condominiums or
cooperatives. The newer the building, the more likely that it is a condominium. Many have health
clubs and/or swimming pools. There are some rental buildings in this category.
Pre-war buildings
By definition, a building built before World War II. These buildings are usually 10 - 20 stories tall
and are sought after for their larger rooms, prewar details such as moldings and beamed ceilings,
some with fireplaces, hardwood floors and higher ceilings. They may or may not provide a
doorman.
Post-war buildings
These buildings were built between the late 1940s and the late 1970s. They are generally hi-rise and
most have doormen. Buildings built later are usually called modern buildings, to differentiate them.
Elevator buildings
This term usually describes a 6-to-20 stories-tall non-doorman building which may be pre-war or
post-war. Elevator buildings usually have an intercom or video security system.
Walk-up buildings
Either pre-war or post-war building, usually under 5 stories, with no elevator. No doorman.
